What powers do the tarot cards actually have and are they reliable?

Just wanted opinions really as i have had numerous readings and they all tell me the same thing? In a bit of a situation at the moment and wanted some clarity. My own instincts tell me the right path to take and a reading seems to confirm things for me but are they 100% accurate?

What powers do the tarot cards actually have and are they reliable?
they r reliable
Reply:I believe that tarot cards do have a meaning for you, however it is for you to find it. also it depends who has read them for you.
Reply:Tarot cards have been neither proven or disproven to work. Namely because you can't prove or disprove that they work. It however isn't as rediculous as astrology, which got its roots in egypt when people noticed that when certain constallations went in front of certain planets, changes in the weather happened. But then people exploited this, and now its a multi-million dollar industry.
Reply:Most of the cards will represent a symbol that is considered universal or shared by different cultures, but is your mind the one that gives them a meaning. I think the power of it relies in the ability to make the connection of the idea to your real life, as an advice.
Reply:The technique is called cartomancy. You use your concentration and mana powers to foretell the future.
Reply:they are just as reliable as a pack of cards..and its all guess work
Reply:Tarot is never 100% accurate, and they don't really have any particular special powers, they simply attune to the owner, which is why we are never supposed to buy them ourselves, but get someone else to do it and handle them before handing them to you, that way the energies put in to making them are not tranferred to you. You need to trust your instincts.

'No they are not,


Its all a load of hocus pocus designed to make you part with your money... '





If they were Hocus Pocus designed to make us part with money, how do you explain the 32 year old cards I had handed down to me??? I didn't part with any money, and nowadays, they can be bought very cheaply.
Reply:I believe that there are people out there who can read tarot cards but not everybody can.It is also in the power of the mind , if you really believe in something it will happen, don't forget the mind is a powerful thing.
Reply:If there was such a thing as being able to see the future where is the evidence? Is there one person willing to tested?


Why aren't the gambling places, football betting, and lotteries shut down? In 1995 Orange County in California Treasurer-Tax Collector used a mail order psychic/astrologer and lost 1.64 BILLION dollars in investments.


Carl Sagan used to say "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs". Anyone that makes a claim must provide evidence to support the claim, not for someone else to disprove.


If psychics and the such can do what they say, why can't put up or shut up? What do they have to fear?


Humans are pattern seeking creatures and that can make us gullible. Be a critical thinker and embrace reality.
Reply:I think there's some truth to them. Once I laid them out and they actually made sense. I thought it was a fluke and mixed the cards and did it again and the exact same thing came up. It was a bit freaky but I can't even remember if that stuff actually happend. But don't mold your life to the outcome of the cards...just take it with a grain of salt.
Reply:Tarot cards can be very reliable. In the hands of a good reader the cards can offer insight into areas of your life you needed clarity on.


It is important to remember though that tarot cards show what could happen or what might happen. You have your own free will and any decisions you make are entirely up to you.


If you don't like what the tarot cards have said; Make some postive changes in your life and the next reading will be different.


Follow your own instincts, let the cards guide you but, in the end make your own decisions.
Reply:Tarot readings (as well as other card readings) are often very vague, if they are more specific it is usually a result of cold reading. This is where you give most of the information yourself. Derren Brown explains the theory used (in this case in a seance)

Obviously this is my own opinion and I don't believe in card readings. I have read cards for people in the past (where you are very vague and most of the time make it up) and it is amazing how many people will say "That's amazing everything you predicted has happened!"





The point of this answer however is regardless of how reliable or not tarot is you should trust your own instincts above what cards tell you. If you feel a decision is right, it probably is.
Reply:They have no power, they are cardboard, you are human and so you have power, you have freewill and a conscience, use it wisely...A sensible person does not lay trust is such crutches as tarot and fortune tellers, the people that sell these things only sell them for one reason, money, not your wellbeing
Reply:How can they be acurate ! my solution is chuck all of the cards up in the air and see how they land - do this 3 times - this will give you an average reading - then totally ignore anything it came up with - go to the bank and just empty your money out and give it to whoever did your reading because if you really let the turning of a card decide what way to lead your life - you shouldnt be allowed out of the house alone let alone be in charge of money !
Reply:they have no power.so don't rely on them. trust your instincts there more reliable,
Reply:No they are not,


Its all a load of hocus pocus designed to make you part with your money...
Reply:I actually own a set of tarot cards and personally I believe that it's all psychological beliefs...if you choose to believe what the readings tell you...then subconciously you seek out situations that make the readings seem true.





Lol that probably sounds like crap heh :D
Reply:Good choice to follow ur own instincts! I read tarot cards n like anything they r not 100% accurate but they can steer u in the right direction so that u may follow ur instincts. Think of the cards as a set of orienteering points- they'll point u in the right direction but its up to u to get there n how n when or even if.
Reply:I read tarot cards. Tarot cards do not tell the future. I do not believe that they themselves have any actual "powers".





That being said, I do believe that in the hands of an honest, experienced, enlightened reader they can provide genuine guidance. The images on the cards are symbols representing things you probably already know about but aren't paying close enough attention to. The tarot can kind of tell you what to look out for, but the choices of what to do with that information are up to the individual.





The future is an ever changing thing and all people have the free will to choose their own path. For this reason, the tarot cannot be called "100% accurate". I have, however, found it to be very helpful in times of confusion.





If all of your readings have pointed to the same thing, I would say it is to be paid some attention. Just be aware that you have the power to shape your future. Take that knowledge and put it to use!





Bright blessings.
Reply:the tarot is only as reliable as the reader as it takes years and years of practice to get the hang of interpreting the meanings in the cards.





there is no psychic ability needed just a good strong honest instinct. I personally think you are maybe having your readings too close together timewise and this is why they are all saying the same.





i also do not belive they are 100% accurate but they do provide a symbolic insight into what you already know within yourself. Trust your own instincts and use the cards as a way to clarify matters.....





hope that helps..........
Reply:Tarot cards are very good for playing a game called Tarot. They're no use for anything else.


People who read your cards, palm or tea leaves just tell you what they think you want to hear. Don't fall for it.
Reply:the cards are only a tool to interact with your subconscious. the cards have no inherent power of their own. other people use different methods of accomplishing the same thing.





they are only as accurate as your interpretation of what the subconscious is trying to tell you. the problem is the subconscious doesn't speak english. it speaks in symbols and associations. our minds are trained to understand things differently and thus a language barrier is created. some symbols are more obvious, but others aren't so clear until the event happens and we finally get it.





also, the future is not set in stone. there is no such thing as "the" future except in theory. there will be A future, but which one that is we have no idea yet. our choices change the courses all the time. so your reading may be accurate FOR THAT POINT IN TIME, but ANY decision CAN change it. it may be a small decision or a major one. but paths can change simply by making decisions which may nullify the previous reading. the reading wasn't wrong, it was just right for that point in time but is no longer valid due to decisions which changed the path.
Reply:No powers whatever. They may be relied upon to produce a random combination.
Reply:They don't have any power unless you believe in them.If you believe in them then whatever the reading is you will be able to twist it to fit with what has happened/will happen to you.The only reason I use tarot cards is for a bit of fun.Go with your instincts.They will usually be correct.Don't just rely on tarot cards.
Reply:It is the energy you put on the cards when you shuffle them


You do know that every person has their own unique energy?


So the cards you draw have a message only for the person that shuffles those cards.


Even if you don't agree with what ever the message is, wait for at least 12 months before you do them again


That is how long it takes for a full reading.


That is why it is best you have your own cards with your own energy


Once someone else touches the cards they have then put their energy into your cards


That is why most people don't get correct reading


Contaminated energy I call it : )





Love %26amp; Blessings

Reply:I could never figure out how to work with those things. I admire the ones who can, though. However many years ago I learned to do readings with a straight deck and have 100% accuracy so far! I just did one last night and she was amazed. p.s. the Gypsys say that no one who reads any cards should ever charge $ for a reading. It will cause the card reader to have much bad luck!
Reply:If you have had numerous readings and they are all telling you the same thing..then i would think your readings are 100% accurate..


I have had tarot readings done and they have always been correct,
Reply:Tarot cards advise you but its up to you to choose the right path for you. Only you have the power to change things in your life.
Reply:Tarot is a "snapshot" of where your life is karmically headed and what circumstances you are in at this moment.





It suggests what happens if you keep following this path; but just by 'getting" the reading itself changes the outcome (if you listen) just by knowing it. The only exception are decks that have a "joker" (known as "to all believers" - which means they won't tell you!)





PPl should not get a tarot reading more than once a month, if that. The cards will not change if you don't.





I've proved it time %26amp; time again by doing the same reading over %26amp; over %26amp; cutting the cards and mixing them up and always get teh same patterns.





Tarot cards are read by individual card meaning, the position they occupy and what cards they are next to...





Other than that, you can be taught to be a tarot reader, but the best of us are naturals that don't even need the cards. I myself can just look at your eyes, esp for a past life!
Reply:The cards by themselves don't have any special powers. I read that it is mostly psychological. Some people believe the cards register their energy as they shuffle and lay out the cards.





The readings are only accurate if the reader is seriously focusing on the question as they shuffle and layout the cards.





What i do to get accurate readings is pour out all my emotions and thoughts in regards to the question I'm asking. Sometimes, I talk to the cards about the situation as I shuffle them.





One thing I forgot to add: If you need to ask the same question twice in one day, use two decks. If you get teh same answer from both decks, you will know the reading is accurate. I own a couple decks for this reason.
Reply:It's just a load of mumbo-jumbo.It never ceases to amaze me,in this day %26amp; age,that people still believe in this nonsense.
